WSN: Warriors, Settlers and Nomads
WSN: A Deep Dive into the Human Condition
The Warriors, Settlers & Nomads (WSN) model is a groundbreaking approach to understanding and transforming human behavior. Developed by Terence Watts, it delves into the core of our psyche, revealing the ancient instincts that shape our actions and interactions. By exploring the three archetypal parts of our personality – Warrior, Settler, and Nomad – we can gain profound insights into our strengths, weaknesses, and motivations, ultimately leading to lasting personal and professional change.
Who are you?
1. Warrior (Leadership, Crusade, Rule):
Leadership: Driven by the need for control and security, Warriors are assertive, decisive, and focused on achieving their goals. They excel at planning and taking charge, but can also struggle with expressing vulnerability and openness.
Crusade: Motivated by the desire for adequacy and justice, Crusaders are passionate fighters for causes, relentless in their pursuit of righting wrongs. They are great strategists but can become stubborn and inflexible.
Rule: Governed by the urge for survival and dominance, Rulers are powerful, confident, and unyielding. They demand respect and expect adherence to rules, but can also be domineering and intimidating.
2. Settler (Artisan, Philosopher, Carer):
Artisan: Focused on security and order, Artisans are practical, reliable, and hardworking. They prefer stability and predictability but can also become risk-averse and overly cautious.
Philosopher: Driven by the need for understanding and knowledge, Philosophers are inquisitive, analytical, and empathetic. They seek to make sense of the world and help others do the same, but can become overwhelmed by information and struggle with indecision.
Carer: Motivated by the urge to provide for others, Carers are nurturing, selfless, and compassionate. They have a strong sense of responsibility and a desire to help others, but can also struggle with setting boundaries and prioritizing their own needs.
3. Nomad (Entertainer, Traveller, Trickster):
Entertainer: Driven by the need for freedom and excitement, Entertainers are charismatic, creative, and unpredictable. They thrive on change and variety, but can also struggle with commitment and focus.
Traveller: Motivated by the desire for individuality and exploration, Travellers are independent, adaptable, and open-minded. They enjoy new experiences and challenges, but can also become restless and easily bored.
Trickster: Governed by the urge for possessions and power, Tricksters are charming, manipulative, and resourceful. They excel at finding solutions and achieving their goals, but can also be cunning and deceptive.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
BWRT® stands for BrainWorking Recursive Therapy. It’s a modern, solution-focused, and evidence-based psychotherapy that can help with a wide range of psychological, emotional, and behavioral issues.
BWRT can help with a wide range of issues, including but not limited to anxiety, stress-related issues, low self-esteem and confidence issues, emotional problems like guilt and shame, habits, communication and relationships, performance, personal productivity, goal setting and achieving.
BWRT works by using a person’s own thought processes to interrupt and reframe patterns of thinking that lead to negative emotions and behaviors. It’s a neural-based therapy that aims to resolve issues at the point where they originate, in the brain’s neural pathways.
No, BWRT is different from hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). BWRT is a standalone therapy that does not involve hypnosis or trance states. It focuses on the present moment and does not require delving into past experiences.
For a start off, we work with a different part of the brain from that which any other therapy does; where many neuroscience-based therapies mention how they work directly with the amygdala in the limbic system, (in charge of emotional and behavioral responses), BWRT® works with a part of the brain that ‘fires up’ long before the limbic system even gets started. In simple terms, BWRT® intercepts and reprograms thoughts before they trigger emotional responses.
While BWRT® is highly effective for many individuals, its success can vary. A personalized consultation can help determine if it is the right approach for you.
The number of sessions required can vary based on individual needs and the severity of the anxiety. Many clients experience significant improvement within a few sessions.
During a BWRT® session, you will work with a therapist to identify and reprogram the subconscious triggers of the issues you want to resolve, often experiencing relief in a safe and supportive environment.
Yes, BWRT is considered safe. It is non-invasive and does not involve any medication or hypnosis. It is carried out by qualified practitioners who have been trained in the BWRT methodology.
The number of sessions required can vary greatly depending on the individual and the complexity of the issue. Many people experience significant improvement within a few sessions, while others may require more.
A typical BWRT session lasts between 45 minutes to an hour. However, the first session is often longer as it includes an initial assessment and discussion of the treatment plan.
BWRT is generally free of side effects. However, as with any form of therapy, some individuals may experience temporary emotional discomfort as they process and resolve their issues.
BWRT can be tailored for children, though I have successfully worked with minor issues in children, my training is not specialized in pediatric therapy. For a consultation or referrals to child-focused professionals, please feel free to contact me.
Coverage for BWRT can vary depending on your insurance provider. It is best to check with your insurance company to see if BWRT is covered under your policy.
